Blog Shop Grand Opening! Plus Resin Test Charms!

Hey all! This post is a special post because now my blog shop is open!  

I just posted all the ordering details, pictures, prices and everything that you can possibly imagine! Just check the TCS shoppe page on the top left of the blog. Actually I'm pretty scared and very excited for this all at the same time! Its been my dream for a long time and now its in the flesh!

As far as what's in the shop I only have my cake cell phone charms but as time moves on I will post more items of all kinds! If you have any questions you can comment here or e-mail me at candysanctuary@hotmail.com! I also just posted a feedback page as well.

I'm really excited guys, wish me luck!

Besides that I have some really great pictures of the resin charms and a upcoming post about icing on clay donuts. For now you can take a look at the first resin charms I made a month ago!

 All of them in their glory! My favorite is the lollipop!

 If you look closely you can see the blue sparkles! 

 For this batch I use a bigger blue glitter. I love all the colors that you can see from it!

I added too much pigment to the pink resin so if you warm this charm with your hands enough it will become flexible. Live and learn right haha?

 I love the blue blotches in the back of the heart! I wish more of those showed in the front!

 This one reminds me of a nebula

 I really like this one, it reminds me of a fancy chocolate!

 Thanks for looking and don't forget to check out the shop in the TCS shop page! Tell all your friends about it. See you all soon!

Playing with Resin!

Encased in sweets!

Hey all! Thank you for all the wonderful comments on the last post, I'm glad that it touched on a lot of peoples hearts. I'll be more then happy to continue posting ways to have a happy and joyful life!

Today I'm proud to show you all my first time making resin charms. I had the materials for a long time but due to my fear of the unknown (and its toxins) I never used them. But then a flash of inspiration stuck me yesterday giving me the strength to just get up and go! So today after watching some T.V I went through my resin book and went on to create some test pieces! They are still curing now and I hope that they can cure properly since I can only make them in the share kitchen, it can get really cold at night so cross your fingers for me! I did take pictures of the WIP when I added my lollipop charms in some of the thickening resin. I also used the left over resin to test out the mica I brought to color the resin. Its called Blackstar Blue and gosh its PRETTY. Its black but has a gorgeous blue highlight to it. I can't wait to see those when they cure completely.

The process wasn't as bad as I thought, the thing that freaks me out the most is the toxins of the chemicals and the precautions you have to make like a respirator and such. After going through the whole process I'm quite delighted! Its the same thing I do when I use silicone as far as the safety goes, respirator, gloves, and a careful eye haha. If this batch comes out well I'll be so excited! I had so many ideas for charm ideas and such but didn't have the guts to ever try resin. I'm pretty sure this will change things!

Also I have some really exciting news! If you see the tab on the upper left corner you'll see it reads "The Candy Sanctuary Shoppe" which only means that I'm close to start selling. I'll use this blog to sell the my charms while I make the official site for them in the mean time. I'm hoping to build a following and cliental through all this, after all it is my dream and passion! :D

Thanks for reading and viewing, take care everyone!

Earphones update and Cute Can Kill Feature!

Good afternoon!

Just another update on my earphones deco but with no pictures because I want it to be a surprise when its done! It looks great but I had the most irritating problem near the end. The container flipped up when I opened it and some of my flat back pearls splashed all over the table. I was so pissed and dropped a good amount of F-bombs. D:< Luckily though, most of them were on the table and salvageable. So I had to get my mind together from the shock and gather them up. Despite that, everything went fine and I treated myself to some dark chocolate fudge popcorn. Now I have to wait for the deco sauce and glue to dry so I can do the other side of the earphones. Then I'll be flat out done and ready to have a photo shoot for them. I really want to show these babies off so I want to take pictures of them on. As well as take them to a mall outing with me. It should be fun, I wonder what people will think since I live to be different, even when I was a kid. In fact I might take the photo shoot at the mall since its a pretty amazing place and the weather will be beautiful! 

Besides that I wanted to show everyone this amazing online store called Cute Can Kill. This is what my dreams are made of, sugar, cute animals, sparkles, and covered with pastel colors. With my latest fashion obsession with fairy kei, I was instantly impressed with all the candy coated handmade jewelry and accessories. Their clay pieces are amazingly simple yet detailed and truly inspiring! I wanted to try my hand at making a carousel horse before but now seeing how wonderful these pendants are, I want go forward and try my own. There are so many wonderful pieces that I can't go through them all. See all the sugary goodness yourself here on their web shop and their facebook! 

Thanks for viewing guys!
